Thou great and Holy One Loon down, from Thy mighty throne, Upon those war strickened nations, and send, Mercy which comes from Thee alone. Drive hatred from the hearts of men, ' Arouse them from their dream, , , That they may know Thy mighty power. ' And Thou alone rules supreme. Give strength to the orphaned ones Left by this awful strife, Take them under Thy sheltering wing , Give them the bread of life. v God be with those homeless ones, Stretch fourth thy loving hand,' Teach them to fear Thee alone And not the wrath of man. Look down upon that brood-stained battlefield And aid men's quick ghasting breath, . ' Teach them to say, ;"Thy will be done' Before their eye-lids close in death. May the cannon's roar cease its thunder, , And each head bow in shame, And lips that shouted the battle cry Sing Praises to Thy name.; JAMES W. ELLIOTT.
